David Prutton’s EFL score predictions – 16th August

Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has given his predictions for some Football League fixtures.

The former Nottingham Forest, Southampton, Leeds, Swindon, Sheffield Wednesday and England U21 footballer who currently works as a presenter, pundit and commentator has given score predictions on FOURTEEN matches.

Twelve of the fixtures are from the Championship and one each from League One and League Two.

After looking at majority of his predictions, it’s found that he’s rather accurate and that if you put the scores he’s gone with into a table, it is very similar to the current standings.

See what he went with below and on the next few pages…

HUDDERSFIELD v FULHAM

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 0-2

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “It’s not been the best start of the season for Huddersfield. They had a long time to prepare for life back in the Sky Bet Championship, but they have just a point from their opening two games and, to cap things off, lost at home to Lincoln in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

“Fulham started poorly at Barnsley but improved a lot to beat Blackburn last weekend. They look the better of the two right now.”

BARNSLEY v CHARLTON

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 2-2

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Survival is clearly the priority for Daniel Stendel and Barnsley this season, but their poor defeat against Carlisle in the Carabao Cup in midweek won’t have helped things at all. To lose 3-0 at home to a side from League Two is not a good look!

“Charlton have started fantastically with two wins from two in the Championship and they will fancy their chances of staying unbeaten against another promoted side. Score draw for me.”

 

MILLWALL v SHEFFIELD WED

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-3

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Millwall are ticking along nicely in the early stages of the season. Four points from two Championship games and a Carabao Cup win at West Brom – whom they drew with in the league last weekend – to boot.

“Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, have had a superb start, especially when you consider the upheaval of Steve Bruce’s departure just before the start of the season. I fancy them to make it three from three.”

 

STOKE v DERBY

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 0-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “That was a huge result for Stoke in the Carabao Cup in midweek. They have started so poorly in the Championship, with two defeats from two, and Nathan Jones needed a tick in the win column – which they got at Wigan.

“Phillip Cocu will be pleased enough with his start at Derby. It could have been a perfect record so far had Martyn Waghorn converted that penalty against Swansea last week, but four points and a cup win will do him fine. I think there could be more problems for Stoke here.”

 

WIGAN v LEEDS

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 0-2

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “The way Wigan have played in their opening two games suggests it’s going to be more of the same for Paul Cook and Co. Expect them to be very tough to beat at home and very easy to see off on the road.

“Leeds will remember the game against the Latics from last season. The Derby play-off tie is the one that will be remembered, but the way they folded at home against a 10-man Wigan side in April, from a winning position, may have been the result that really cost them promotion. They should have enough to win on Saturday.”
